Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#232 - Earth crystallization!

Knowing that the treasure was in front of him, Liang Yue naturally wouldn't waste time following the Kongtong Sect's rules, searching for the opening mechanism bit by bit.

And then, perhaps, he would have to find some highly respected figure in the sect, and go through all sorts of hardships to obtain the corresponding key or password.

Faced with the thick wall in front of him, Liang Yue decisively took out his small iron pickaxe~

Bang bang bang bang~

After a burst of knocking, a passage 270 centimeters high, 90 centimeters wide, and three meters thick appeared before his eyes~

"Using a giant stone more than three meters thick to block the road, this is almost like the Tomb Sect's Dragon Blocking Stone, right?"

This thought flashed through his mind, but then Liang Yue was attracted by the rich fragrance in the air, and unconsciously stepped forward and walked towards the front.

Subsequently, what appeared was a square stone cave.

The area here was not large, with only about a hundred square meters on the ground, but the height was a bit surprising.

In the center of the stone cave was a stone platform about two meters high.

The shape was very old, connected by mottled stone steps, and there seemed to be some strange beasts and birds on it, but under the action of time, it was now completely blurred.

At this moment, there was a cauldron placed on the stone platform, about one meter square, carved from jade, crystal clear, simple yet elegant, and without a single seam!

It seemed that this was a carefully crafted work made from a complete piece of high-quality jade!

And above the jade cauldron was a huge stalactite hanging upside down~

At a glance, this stalactite was completely occupying the entire space above.

Hanging down, where it reached the stone platform, it could hardly be called a stone anymore.

Because at this moment, it had completely presented a gradual state of transparency and translucency.

And in the center of this stalactite, a mysterious object faintly emitting a crystal green light was slowly seeping out through the translucent stone.

"Ding-dong~"

Along with a crisp sound of water droplets falling, a small团 of juice containing a little bit of green suddenly砸落into the jade cauldron!

The liquid appeared to be somewhat viscous, and after splashing several layers of ripples, it was instantly smoothed out.

The fragrance that filled the room emanated from this jade cauldron!

Surrounded by this rich aura, although the entire space was in a closed state, Liang Yue did not feel the slightest sense of suffocation.

Taking a deep breath, his whole person suddenly became full of energy~

At this moment, his body seemed to be cheering, faintly emitting a sound of desire.

Within his body, whether it was the internal force in his dantian or the magic heart in his brow, they were all running rapidly at this moment, desperately sucking in this fragrant aura.

This feeling was simply intoxicating!

In addition, although the space in front of him was a closed one, the surroundings did not appear dark, but rather there were rays of soft light lingering here.

Looking up, it turned out that three huge night-shining pearls were inlaid on the surrounding walls.

The night-shining pearls were obviously not ordinary minerals such as fluorite in modern society, but a more luminous special sphere, hanging high like an incandescent lamp.

"System, what is this?"

Returning his gaze to the stone platform in the center, Liang Yue looked at the huge stalactite and the light green liquid in the jade cauldron below, and asked with burning eyes.

"Ding~! Congratulations to the host for discovering the Primary Earth Crystal. This item can continuously produce Earth Spiritual Milk as long as it is placed on the earth. This spiritual milk contains the essence of earth energy, which can help cultivators increase their cultivation and consolidate their cultivation base.

It can also eliminate inner demons to a certain extent. At the same time, the Earth Crystal can also promote the upgrade of the stronghold world."

"As long as I put this green stalactite into the stronghold world, it can be upgraded?"

Liang Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly asked.

"Yes."

"Is it so convenient? Then how do I get this thing back to the stronghold world, do I just chisel it out?"

"The host only needs to confirm, and the system will automatically collect it."

"That's good! Oh right~ After you take this thing away, you won't just decompose it, will you?"

Liang Yue suddenly thought of this question at this time, so he continued to ask with some worry.

After all, the system had said before that this kind of Earth Crystal, in addition to promoting the upgrade of the stronghold world, can also continuously produce spiritual milk, which should be very rare.

If it can be preserved, then it is definitely a priceless treasure that can continuously produce good things~

"Ding~! Just place this item in the stronghold world to promote the upgrade, and the host can also choose the placement location."

"Pa!"

Hearing the system's words, Liang Yue immediately clapped his hands, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Faced with this unexpected joy, this guy could hardly restrain the surprise in his heart at this moment, and began to become a little excited.

It took a long time before he slowly calmed down.

Taking a deep breath, he then continued to ask.

"System, what changes will there be after the stronghold world is upgraded?"

"Ding~! The most obvious change is that the energy concentration of the stronghold world will gradually increase, and secondly, the villagers can enter the real world, but it must be with the host's consent."

"Um hum~ These two points are enough!"

Saying this, Liang Yue moved his mind and contacted the women in the stronghold world.

After they learned of this news, they were immediately ecstatic. It seemed that they had been in the stronghold world long enough.

Although the village was good, with a beautiful environment and fresh air, they would still get bored after a long time.

As people in modern society, urban life was more humane~

Afterwards, Ms. Shizuka, Saya Takagi and others began to discuss the placement location of this Earth Crystal.

Alvin was particularly interested in this thing. While the others were discussing enthusiastically, she kept observing the Earth Crystal through video.

After the women came to a conclusion, Liang Yue also followed suit and notified the system that it could be collected.

"Kuang~!" After a muffled sound.

The huge stalactite above his head was suddenly dug away, leaving only a smooth, mirror-like stone ceiling.

Along with it, even the stone platform under Liang Yue's feet and the jade cauldron on the stone platform disappeared in an instant. Obviously, they were taken away by the system to receive spiritual milk.

At the same time, just after losing the guard of the Earth Crystal, the cave in front of him seemed to be greatly affected.

It began to tremble slightly.

And gradually, this vibration was still constantly increasing, and after a while, it became like an earthquake~!

"Rumble rumble~"

Immediately afterwards, small pieces of gravel and dust suddenly fell from the top of his head.

Seeing this, Liang Yue naturally did not dare to continue to stay in this dangerous place.

However, just as this guy was about to run away, he suddenly saw the night-shining pearls inlaid on the stone wall again...

So he blinked his eyes, his expression paused, and he quickly flashed his figure, running around the surroundings on the eaves and walls.

After a round of blurred light and shadow flashed, the closed space suddenly fell into a darkness.

And Liang Yue, after taking off those night-shining pearls, immediately ran towards the direction outside the cave.

"Rumble rumble~" "Boom~!" "Clang~!"

Along with a continuous burst of falling rocks and collapses, Liang Yue finally rushed out of this secret place of the Kongtong Sect after a moment.

Then, he directly picked up the few survivors who were still unconscious at the entrance of the cave, and slipped into the dense forest next to him in a puff of smoke.

The cave behind him did not last long, and after a while, it collapsed directly, and even the entire hillside was shortened by a small section.

Large clouds of smoke instantly rose up and surged in all directions.

After Liang Yue threw the people in his hand into a patch of grass, he did not stay here, turned around and continued to put on the Great White Dog suit, and went to the Kongtong Sect's mountain gate building complex.

"Having received such great kindness from your sect, I will just help you solve those Yuan soldiers by the way~"
